In 1999 Stuart relocated to Sydney where he worked as a senior physiotherapist in various practices across Sydney and as practice manager at a large multi-centred practice in St Leonards.

Stuart has been an invited speaker at several national & international conferences. His lectures on effective pelvic muscle control have been widely acclaimed.
Stuart states he is a full-time physio, part time researcher, and father to 4 young kids……this means that he gave up playing sports a while ago now and lives his sporting dreams vicariously through his children’s sporting achievements.
